Moore’s Knob Tower, located in Hanging Rock State Park, is a popular destination for hikers in North Carolina. Originally a fire lookout tower, it has been replaced by a stone observation tower that offers sweeping views of the surrounding area - on clear days you might be able to see the cities of Greensboro and Winston-Salem! There are two main routes to reach the tower: a shorter hike of 3.8 miles on the Moore’s Knob Loop Trail starting at the lake, or a longer 4.5-mile loop.
